| Abstrakt: | Abdominal wall hernias are one of the most common surgical diseases present in both males and females nowadays. However, with only a few cases reported in the literature, hepatic round ligament hernias are a rare clinical manifestation. This case shows how a common symptom such as epigastric pain can be associated with this rare condition. In general, abdominal computed tomography (CT) images are the choice of study to evaluate complications and the involvement of different intestinal sections. Some laboratory tests can be performed to suspect intestinal ischemia secondary to strangulated hernias. Primary repair utilizing mesh is the preferred surgical treatment. This procedure can be performed through laparoscopic or open technique, depending on the surgeon's skills and patient preference.
